Halifax Intermediaries enhance DIP offering on Submissions Brain, including self-employed applications

20 October 2022

UK, 20 October 2022: Technology expert Mortgage Brain today announced three significant enhancements to Halifax Intermediaries DIP offering on Submissions Brain, the multi-lender application and submission gateway for mortgage brokers.

The new enhancements will give intermediaries the ability to submit Decisions in Principle (DIP) for applicants who are self-employed. The form will capture self-employed data and brokers will receive a decision back through Submissions Brain. Further enhancements include the ability to edit and reprocess a case, and retrieve a DIP certificate, all via the online platform.

Submissions Brain is the latest innovation from Mortgage Brain, allowing advisers to request DIPs and submit full applications directly to partner lenders, all through a single login, while an audit trail is maintained to ensure that compliance requirements are met. The platform is free for all intermediaries through a standalone user interface, and for Mortgage Brain customers who seek the benefit of pre-population it is also fully integrated with both Sourcing Brain, the award-winning online product sourcing solution, and The Key, Mortgage Brain’s leading CRM system, providing intermediaries with even greater time-saving benefit.

Claire Cherrington, Head of Intermediaries Distribution Development, commented:

“By working with Mortgage Brain to extend the Halifax Online DIP through Submissions Brain with these additional features, we can deliver efficiency benefits for intermediaries using this route”.

Neil Wyatt, Sales and Marketing Director at Mortgage Brain, added:

“Halifax are committed to improving the digital mortgage journey for consumers and intermediaries alike, these additional enhancements to their online DIP via Submissions Brain significantly increase the number of decisions that can be submitted via the service and as such will add greater efficiency and time savings for brokers using the service. We now have 10 lenders on Submissions Brain and with our current pipeline will increase this significantly by the end of the year”.
